IT really is a case of blonde ambition. Women with fair hair are more aggressive and determined to get their own way than brunettes or redheads, according to a study by the University of California.

Researchers claim that blondes are more likely to display a warlike streak because they attract more attention than other women and are used to getting their own way  the so-called princess effect.

Even those who dye their hair blonde quickly take on these attributes, experts found.

The study could cast fresh light on the ability of Joanna Lumley, the actress and former model, to pummel ministers into giving all Gurkha veterans the right to settle in the UK.

It may also help to explain the success of the lead character in Legally Blonde, the hit West End musical based on a film starring Reese Witherspoon, who forces her way to the top of law school despite being perceived as ditzy.

The findings about aggression are contained in research by the University of California, Santa Barbara, to discover whether women who are judged more attractive than others are also more likely to lose their tempers to get what they want.

We expected blondes to feel more entitled than other young women  this is southern California, the natural habitat of the privileged blonde, said Aaron Sell, who led the study which has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. What we did not expect to find was how much more warlike they are than their peers on campus.

Female getting her way-
It has less to do with her being blonde and more to do with her attractiveness (hair color does not matter).
A beautiful woman is constantly catered to by men who would like to sleep with her even though most know they have NO PRAYER.

In my experience "Nurture" is more to blame for this problem than "Nature".

Agreed . I don't know what theories are taught today , but I have remained convinced B.F. Skinner's extentions of the theories of operant conditoning have validity . Grow up with the name B.F. and the last name Skinner and see if you do not learn some behaviors .

Except redheads who of course have no souls .

A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's driving license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated.

'What does it look like?' she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, 'It's square and it has your picture on it..'

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. 'Here it is,' she said.

Bah. I’m a blonde, I don’t much care about having things my way all the time.
Green eyes too, and not a jealous bone in my body.
Unusual birthmark on my fanny, and not royal.
This post is useless without pics. ;)

Working class taxpayers don’t need to pay more taxes for — SoCal U doing study on blonds. Many years ago read interesting paper showing how much tax on working people is used to pay for the education of the children of the upper class — that is university education.

We don’t need anymore shrinks worrying about how blonds “feel” or how blonds are “perceived” or what anybody considers “beauty.” Quite frankly. We need doctors & engineers and technicians and tool and die makers. We don’t need to spend any more money to give fancy degrees to Marxists calling themselves sociologists.

It was a slow night at the nightclub and the ventiloquist dipped into his blonde jokes. He would set them them up and the dummy knocked them down.

Then a platinum blonde stood up, trembling with anger. She interrupted the act and said, “We blondes have been the butt of jokes for too long. We have worked long and hard for respect ...” (and so forth and so on for quite a while.)
